The Past year's progress with sewing

See this list??? It is over a year old. the stuff in yellow is the stuff I have completed in the last year. green are new notes, red things that are no longer needed. 

 List of stuff  to do over the winter.- Dec 1211

• Fix bodices on blue cotte, red kirtle, and an underdress. Red kirtle still has enough give in it
• Finish green kirtle, sleeveless kirtle, and pin on sleeves. Create side back lacing on sleeveless??
• Line son's wool cloak, make an undershirt, and finish gray t-tunic. Grey tunic scaped 
• Sew tent
• Finish husband's Middle Eastern coat. Redo frogs on kaftan, and an undershirt. Coat just needs trim
• A pair of hose or two for myself.

Stuff to do at a later date

• Redo waist band on gypsy skirt, and make a matching choli. Fix choli
• Make son a gypsy vest, another shirt, and pants. green linen shirt, and brown linen pants
• Another apron, smock and underdress
• Cut lining for fancy purple kirtle, sew it, then embroder it.
• Make striped Kaftan for husband - Striped fabric make into vest thingy, purple print into kaftan

Things I should do or wanted to do but need materials

• A hood and pants for my son. Redyed husband's old hood for him
• A long sleeved under shirt and pants for my husband. - Have all the materials now
• Gold patterned cotte once I can afford buttons.- Have buttons
• A Hennin, and a red or black hood. 
• A couple pairs of gloves for myself.
• A gray fur lining to make a cloak/mantle from a red/purple woolen material I have.

So even though I did not get everything done on my list before last years camping season I did accomplish a lot.  The big major project was the tent.  My husband and I were able to make due with the items we already had for the few events we went to, and my son still fit into most of his items. Plus I was able to acquire many of the things that were preventing me from completing garb. So what follows is my new list

Materials needed

It seem as if I have a whole lot more projects for myself, which is partly true, but part of it is my persona having at any one time 2 to three visible layers plus an underdress or smock. I do a lot of camp cooking besides a fire, so need garb that is not fancy for camp along with fancier garb for court because several somebodies decided it was a good thing to make me a lady. Hee hee.... Where as the boy husband and roomie have less layers, nor do they fight, cook, forge or do other activities requiring a separate set of garb. well the boy is an exception, hence he has one fancy set of garb. Not to mention I just like to sew, and find it easier to envision garb for myself, and I had more opportunity to go to events in the past. A lot of my current garb that was a bit nicer I will now be using as camp garb and removing some of my earlier attempts with synthetic materials.

If I am able to accomplish all this stuff on my list I will be able to remove much of my starter garb (which in my own opinion is somewhat horrible) from my wardrobe, and still have a distinct set of camp garb that is comfy  plausibly authentic, but not a big deal if ruined. And as things wear out I will Hopefully be able to replace them with better materials, and more skillfully made items....
